New gear

[wiley_p]

The guys from Petzl came over from France yesteday and showed off some of the new gear fro this year. Damn sweet Double rope rig, nice throwbags and new throwline among other things. They really made the Top harness super comfortable. And the Zig-Zag is slick. I already see a way to run it in SRT.

surveyor used the force and some ninja skills and posted this on the buzz http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20110315480

 

[bonner1040]

Its worth noting that while the design looks similar to Surveyor's 'pulley racks' by his admission, the Petzl patent date predates his public disclosure.

 

[flushcut]

Interesting.

 

[Altissimus]

Petzl?

 

[bonner1040]

It is a Petzl patent application.

I saw pictures on facebook of the Zig-Zag. Looks like a unicender that can't be loaded midline?

Either way, I want to try it!

Here's a pic for those too lazy to click the link...

I think this is the SRT Mode

And here's DRT:

I just came back from holidays this weekend and I discovered that. Nice.
And nicer, a climber reported that today at the French forum :

sweet !
But I keep the Hitch Hiker on my wish-list.

Climber posted this in a fb group I'm in, says it runs super sweet, and all his guys give it two thumbs up.

 

[NickfromWI]

No midline attachment = no dice for me

Still testing they said. He said even if its not midline attachable he'd still get it, he said it feels a lot better than a lock or spider jack, and that it has that perfectly dialed in hitch feel.
